Hello,
How can I add to this tutorial code https://help.forumotion.com/t129060-widget-recent-topics-of-a-specific-sub-forum local storage management? Forum version: PunBB

Hello @Black-Shadow

Add this to a widget :
Modules > Forum widgets management > Create new

Code:

<div id="loadedTopics-a" class="topicBox">
  <noscript>Unable to get topics, please enabled JavaScript to use this widget.</noscript> 
</div><a href="#" class="refresh">Refresh</a>
<script type="text/javascript">//<![CDATA[
(function() {
  var forum_id = 1,
      recent_count = 6,
      title_length = 30,
      cache_time = 29*60*1000,
      storage = window.localStorage,
      block = document.getElementById('loadedTopics-a');
 
  if (storage['topics'+forum_id] && storage['topicsExp'+forum_id] > +new Date - cache_time) block.innerHTML = storage['topics'+forum_id];
  else loadTopics();
  block.nextSibling.onclick = function() {
    for (var i=0,a=block.childNodes; i<a.length; i++) a[i].innerHTML = 'loading...';
    loadTopics();
    return false;
  };
  function loadTopics() {
    jQuery(block).load('/f'+forum_id+'- a.topictitle:lt('+recent_count+')',function() {
      for (var i=0,a=block.childNodes; i<a.length; i++) if (a[i].innerHTML.length > title_length) a[i].innerHTML = a[i].innerHTML.slice(0,title_length).trim() + '...';
      if (storage) storage['topics'+forum_id] = block.innerHTML, storage['topicsExp'+forum_id] = +new Date;
    });
  };
})();
//]]></script>

There's a few things you can use to customize the results of the widget.

forum_id : the id of the forum you want to load
recent_count : the amount of topics you want to display
title_length : the max amount of characters you want in the topic title
cache_time : the amount of time the topics are cached. mm*ss*ms

You can use the refresh button to forcefully refresh the widget, basically update the localStorage for the widget. If you make any changes, just click refresh so they take effect on your end.

Then add some CSS for the topic title style :
Display > Colors > CSS stylesheet

Code:

.topicBox a.topictitle {
  color:#666;
  background:#EEE;
  border:1px solid #CCC;
  border-radius:3px;
  display:block;
  margin:2px 0;
  padding:3px;
}

Hello Ange,
It displays the global announcements too, is it possible to bypass them? How can I add an icon before the topic title?

Go to Display > Templates > General > topics_list_box

Find :
( near beginning of template, the first occurrence )

Code:

   <div class="main-content">
   <table cellspacing="0" class="table">
      <thead>
         <tr>
            <th class="tcl">{L_TOPICS}</th>
            <th class="tc2">{topics_list_box.row.L_REPLIES}</th>
            <th class="tc3">{topics_list_box.row.L_VIEWS}</th>
            <th class="tcr">{topics_list_box.row.L_LASTPOST}</th>
         </tr>
      </thead>

Replace by :

Code:

   <div class="main-content announcement">
   <table cellspacing="0" class="table">
      <thead>
         <tr>
            <th class="tcl">{L_TOPICS}</th>
            <th class="tc2">{topics_list_box.row.L_REPLIES}</th>
            <th class="tc3">{topics_list_box.row.L_VIEWS}</th>
            <th class="tcr">{topics_list_box.row.L_LASTPOST}</th>
         </tr>
      </thead>

Save and publish


Then find this line in the widget :

Code:

'/f'+forum_id+'- a.topictitle:lt('+recent_count+')'

and replace it with :

Code:

'/f'+forum_id+'- .main-content:not(.main-content.announcement) a.topictitle:lt('+recent_count+')'

I can't find these codes in topics_list_box.
Here it is my template code:
